American and Canadian hockey fans are sure in for a treat thanks to 1X2Gaming who developed a real-time betting simulation around a complete hockey season. Featuring dozens of match ups and rounds, players can bet on their favorite hockey teams from various cities in hopes of one of them making it to the championship and taking home the cup.
How to Play Virtual Ice Hockey:
All 30 official hockey teams are present in this game with match ups taking place in real-time simulation of a full season. To begin, players have the freedom to bet on any one particular match up, or multiple, for any team and even on broader outcomes such as quarter final, semi final, or championship winners. All it takes to participate is clicking on any odds and then pressing the ‘Bet Now’ button as it appears in the lower, left-hand corner of the screen. Once a bet is confirmed, players must wait for the 80 second countdown timer to reach zero for the actual simulations to take place and for the outcomes to be revealed.
The various 1, X, or 2 options found above the betting odds indicate which team the player would favor to have win with the indicators respectively relating to the Away team, a Draw, or the Home team. Before placing an actual bet, players also have the opportunity to select a ‘Unit Stake’ with which an overall bet can be increased by, maxing out at 200.
While there is a seemingly endless amount of betting combinations, there are unfortunately no additional convenience features. The game is simulated in real-time due to the countdown timer, so matches cannot be fast-forwarded or skipped.
Virtual Ice Hockey Features Explained:
A random number generator is utilized for this game and takes into account each team’s respective statistics to provide a more realistic outcome for match ups.
Once the countdown timer reaches zero, players are taken to a new screen where the game will quickly simulated a featured match-up. Thankfully, unlike other virtual 1X2Gaming betting games, these featured simulations are short which puts players right back into the action of betting before the next round begins.
Tie breakers go into overtime where a number of statistical factors are taken into account by the game to determine an overall winner.
